This
months I Feel Good I wanted to share something that makes me feel
VERY good.
I
love animals! It’s few things that can get me to jump up from my
seat if I see an animal either outside or if I come into someone's house and they have an animal.
Animals
always makes me smile and most animals seems to like me. I'm careful with them, I never rush over to see them, but rather move
towards them slowly as I don’t want to scare them. I let them come
to me
I
have struggled with my anxiety/depression for so many years that I
can't really remember how it is too not have the horrible feeling so
often as I do. And animals have a remarkable soothing effect on me.
It's the best treatment I could ever ask for.
The
sad reality is that me, who loves animals so much that I can't
explain it, I'm allergic to cats and dogs!!! I never knew until my
dog was 14 years old. I got tested at the doctor and she said I was
allergic to dogs. I got so sad and scared and thought I would have to
put my dog down. But thankfully she said that since he was so old I
could use anti histamines for the rest of the time he had left.
A
year and a half later I had to take the hard decision to put him down
after he had his third stroke:(
Since
then I haven't had any animals myself. Mike and I live in a studio
flat so we don't really have room for having any animals, but there
is also that I have found out that I'm allergic to cats as well:(
It's feels like a death penalty to me to not be able to have animals.
I might see if I can get an animal I don't react on cause I don't
react on all breeds.
Last
week my sister in law was on a little break in Spain and Mike and I
was cat sitting her cute cat Ginger. And that made me feel so good and
I was in a super mood all week and my ability at work seemed to
improve too. I think it had to do with Ginger. That I could cuddle
him and play with him and just take care of him. Cause I find so much fulfilment in looking after animals and care for them.
Do
you like animals? Do they make you happy?
